Not everyone's a beetroot fan, we get it. But hold on to your BlendJets before you skip this beet-y treat. Trust us, the earthy beets team up with a refreshing splash of iced tea and tangy apple juice to create a smoothie that will sweep you off your feet!

You can change it up however you want to or try something completely new. For example, our carrot, orange, and ginger smoothie is a zesty and refreshing wake up drink. You can also try our carrot smoothies with milk for something with a little extra protein.

    Beet Carrot Smoothie Benefits

    Our beet carrot smoothie is more than just a delicious blend—it's a health power-up in a glass. Rich in numerous health benefits, beets can help protect against a variety of illnesses and conditions. Pair them with carrots, and you've got a mighty health booster that's as tasty as it is nutritious.

    Facts About the Ingredients

    You've whizzed up our health-packed carrot celery smoothie and enjoyed the creamy delight of our carrot smoothie with almond milk. Now it's time for a rosy twist with our beet carrot smoothie. Just like our power-green kale (a must-try in our carrot kale smoothie), beets are a true superfood with amazing health benefits.

    Beet Beat

    From lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of cancer to supporting heart health and even treating anemia, beets are a powerhouse of nutrients. Expectant mothers, athletes, even diabetics can all benefit from this ruby red root. Filled with folate and compounds that can help control blood sugar and insulin responses, beets are an all-around health champion!

    Carrot & Beet Smoothie Substitutions

    We get it, you love having fun with your BlendJet 2 and experimenting with flavors. It's part of the joy of blending! For those days you're feeling adventurous or when your pantry isn't fully stocked, here are some easy swap-ins to keep your beet carrot smoothie just as delicious:

    Beets: Can't find fresh beets or they're not in season? No problem! Feel free to use canned or cooked beets. If you're not a beet fan but love the vibrant color, try replacing it with red fruits like strawberries or raspberries.

    Carrots: If you've run out of carrots or fancy a change, parsnips make an interesting substitute. They're sweet, just like carrots. Butternut squash is another great swap that adds creaminess.

    Iced Tea: If you're out of iced tea or prefer a different base, coconut water, almond milk, or even regular cold water work just as well. Each option gives a different flavor twist!

    Apple Juice: If apple juice isn't your favorite or you've just run out, pear juice, orange juice, or even a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime can bring that zing to your smoothie.

    Remember, your BlendJet is all about creating tasty, healthy smoothies that suit your unique palate. Feel free to make this beet carrot smoothie your own with any ingredient swaps or additions. Happy blending!

    BlendJet Beet Carrot Smoothie FAQs

    Are beets high in sugar?

    Beets are relatively high in sugar, yet their glycaemic load is low. The natural sugar content is offset by the high fiber content, as well as all the other all-important vitamins and minerals they contain. Despite their high sugars, they have been found to offer benefits to diabetes patients.

    Can I use beets in other smoothies?

    For even sweeter bright pink smoothies, you can use beets in berry smoothies, too. Be adventurous, and try out different combinations. Beets combine well with many fruits and vegetables for us in tasty smoothies that improve your family’s health.
